Ladies and… ladies.
(and a handful of gentlemen - I see you being here and I appreciate you.)
I’ve decided to switch the language on this profile back to English.
Two years ago, I decided to go bilingual and post in Slovene and Italian. Growing up in a multilingual area, between two countries and even more cultures, this felt natural to me. And it was. In many ways, it still is.
But yesterday evening I watched the documentary Coexistence, My Ass!, shown on Slovenian national television as part of their decision to replace Eurovision coverage with Palestinian voices and stories. How proud am I of .slovenija ? Oh so very!
The documentary follows comedian and activist Noam Shuster Eliassi , an Iranian Jew fluent in both Hebrew and Arabic, navigating the intricate question of coexistence in Israel.
And somewhere between Arabic, Hebrew, Slovene, Italian and English, I realized something slightly less geopolitical but still true for me:
while the coexistence of Slovene and Italian on my feed was entirely possible… I got a little lost in translation.
More spiritually than linguistically, perhaps.
English has somehow become the language in which I think, observe, connect things and breathe most freely. It’s the language in which this profile originally came to life, before I started trying to shape it into something more practical, local, marketable, digestible.
But lately I’ve been feeling a growing disconnect between what I post and what I actually want to say.
So, we upgrade to style educator 2.0.
Yes, there will still be clothes.
And lipstick. And earrings.
And long skirts that make me feel like an urban nun wandering through Italian supermarkets in existential contemplation.
But I also want this space to become a place for thoughts, films, humor, multilingualism, femininity, aesthetics, class, identity, beauty, awkwardness, Balkan contradictions and the strange poetry of everyday life.
Thank you for being here.
